Hi Arman,
I hope you had a nice long weekend.
After much discussion with the BID Clean Team and many District Stakeholders, below are the 5 locations that would be best suited for the remaining 5 ALB cans.
1 . The South West corner of Wilshire and Normandie/lrolo (on the Wilshire side near 3500 Wilshire, close to bus stop).
2. The South East corner of Wilshire and Normandie/lrolo (on the Wilshire side).
3. The South East corner of 7th Street and Normandie (on the Normandie side near 706 S Normandie Ave.)
4. The North West (or North East) corner of 8th and Normandie (on the Normandie side)
5. The North East Corner of 7th and Irolo (on the Irolo side).
Please let me know if you think these locations will work and how soon we might be able to get the ALB cans there.

Hello Arman,
Great points.
As for #1 , your picture shows the Southeast corner of Wilshire and Normandie, which I believe could also benefit from a new ALB can. However, I do think that the Southwest corner on the Wilshire side needs a new ALB can as well, this would be by the Flame Broiler (Wilshire Side). There used to be a can there on the Southwest corner of Wilshire and Normandie, but it has been gone for some time now (see attached photo). There is a small black trashcan there now on the westside of the bus stop that the manager of Carl’s Jr. put there, but is not sufficient.
As for the Catalina. I do think that Catalina and 7th, Catalina and 8th and Catalina and Wilshire could all benefit for an ALB can. Catalina and 8th is also very busy do to the fact that the elementary school lets out on the 8th Street side. Also 8th and Normandie is very busy as well.
I am meeting with a large group of local property owners, business owners and stakeholders tomorrow morning. Let me find out if anyone has other location suggestions.
Thank you,

Hello Mike,
#1 seems very suitable and we will hold off on #2.
Looking at 7th/Bernando seems more residential and less activity with limited space, trying to avoid placing containers on well manicured landscaping. Seems flow of pedestrian travel on Catalina from 7th to Wilshire is heavy and lacks receptacles with open space for placement, would that be more suitable? Most of the school traffic is stretched from retail to transit stops on Wilshire down to school crossing on 7th.
Hello Bill, after Mike finalizes please delivery 3 ED8 ALB's and email back picture receipt, including serial #'s.
Celeste, please update map after receiving confirmation from Bill.
Thank you all,

Hi Arman,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
The locations that come to mind that need trashcans asap:
1 . The southwest corner of Wilshire & Normandie (on the Wilshire side).
2. The southwest corner of Wilshire & Berendo (on the Wilshire side).
3. The southeast corner of Berendo and 7th Street. There are two big apartment buildings that just went up so there are hundreds more people, lots more dogs and, sadly, more litter. Plus the RFK Community School lets out just a block away so now that school is back in session there are a lot of kids in that area everyday.
I will get you 2 other locations later.
Thank you,

ALB=Automated Litter Bins
Container service request for maintenance or emptying please email me and copy Anabel and Celeste, already copied within. Molly Larson with Chrysalis worked with me on finding suitable locations within Wilshire Center and hope at some point we can extend our partnership with all BIDs. In the meanwhile if you have five locations within the BID we can allocate new bin service, please forward the locations to me since I have a few containers left over from last fiscal year I can deploy. No need to copy all hereafter, just wanted to loop in vested groups within LASAN overseeing service or maintenance.
Lids remaining in the upward position does not specify anything other than the bin hinges are not loose enough to shut close after the trucks empty them. I will convey this to all of the staff to dismount and shut the lids manually until we have a permanent solution to this problem, it appears to be widespread. The design should allow for the bins to close shut after the trucks empty the bins.
Containers full or overfilled are not acceptable and please allow me to rectify this issue since we are currently identifying appropriate frequencies to increase service in order to avoid overflows. In the meanwhile all the bins should be emptied twice per week until adjustments are made to frequency.

Hello,
Thank you Leo and Arman this is very helpful. We appreciate all your hard work on this project. The new cans are a welcomed addition to the District. We just want to make sure they are well maintained and in the most effective locations.
We believe that there is a strong need for Sanitation can on the southwest corner of Wilshire and Normandie on the Wilshire Side. There used to be a Sans can there but it was stole a few years ago. Since then the Carl's Jr has put a small black can there, but it is really not sufficient for that location. Would it be possible to add one more can or relocate one of the cans to that area?
Question: What does ALB stand for?
Also, if we see a one of the new black Sanitation trash cans with the lid open, does that mean it's being serviced or should we lower/close the lid? Photo attached (Wilshire & Wilshire PI. Southwestern Law School)
Lastly, who is the best person to contact if a black Sanitation can is over flowing? We can help clean up some of the trash so that it is not overflowing on to the sidewalk. The can on Southwest corner of Wilshire and Shatto is currently over flowing. Photo attached.
Thank you,

Hello Leo,
It was nice meeting you at the BID Consortium meeting last week. Thank you
for the presentation, it was very informative.
I wanted to follow up with you about getting access to the data that showed the location of all the trashcans.
I am particularly interested in Wilshire Center BID area (Wilton to Hoover and 3rd to 8th Street).
Can you please let me know if that is something I can get access to or that you can provide me?
Thank you,
